Can you believe it is May already? We have one more month of preschool and then it is Summer Fun time! I just want to remind all the parents that this year school is going until June 24th and the All School Picnic will be June 25th. More information will follow in June.

There are a couple of dates to mark on your calendar. Our 2nd annual Northminster Preschool “Celebration of Art” Night is Monday, May 19th from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. It is a combination singing production and art open house. Please feel free to invite grandparents and siblings, and make sure you bring your camera. We will also have a surprise presentation for you! Bring your children to the church sanctuary and have them sit with you until we are ready to sing. Then after they sing you will take your child to the preschool to tour the classrooms. Make sure you tour all the classrooms so you can see the different ways art is interpreted depending on the age of the child. It will also give you the opportunity to see who the other teachers are here at Northminster. The entire preschool staff is extremely excited about this event, so please join us!

The preschool will be closed on Monday, May 26, 2008 in observance of Memorial Day. Also, please keep an eye open for the Summer Fun letter and room assignments. The letter will be going home with your child on Tuesday, May 27th and Wednesday, May 28th.

I want to thank all the parents who participated in the Ice Cream fundraiser and the Kids Art fundraiser. We appreciate everything you do that continues to support Northminster Preschool and the children. I also want to thank you, on behalf of CCSA, for your contributions of peanut butter and jelly. We collected over 125 jars of peanut butter and jelly to help fill the food shelves at CCSA. Your generous contributions will help needy families here in the Clairemont area, so THANK YOU!!

On behelf of the entire staff, we would like to thank you for bringing in snacks to share, contributing your time, skills, paper bags, and any other little or big thing we need! You are always so generous when we ask for your help. It does not go unnoticed and we thank you for all of it. You make it easy for us to love what we do!
